"61 WALL ST., N. Y., _June 29, '76_.
"MY DEAR GOVERNOR,--Your letter was well received yesterday
at Union College, and I am glad you sent it.
"I got down last evening just in time to hear of your nomination
in the street and take into your house the news. Heaven grant you
may be elected. The country needs that, far more than you do or can
desire it.
"Faithfully yours,
"CLARKSON N. POTTER."
